Hello,
I'm looking at quad booting my laptop (Win 7, Ubuntu (dev),
debian(stable) and LFS) and wondered if it was possible to use a
shared /boot partition across the 3 linux distros. The main reason for
doing so would be so that everything is more tidy, but also to reduce
wasted space!
Any advice

All seems sorted now - thanks for the help.
I am so tired I can't remember what I did to fix it, but yesterday
evening the wireless popped up and I now have a wonderfully efficient
Jaunty Laptop!!
*cue fireworks*

I came across this problem and ended up using Wicd instead to fix it.

Well, I now have a driver.
But that evil little icon top right insists on a WPA key when I want
to put in a WEP one. It has a "dropdown" but only one option.
And entering the thing on the networks in "applications" seems to be a
complete waste of time - it's just ignored!
BAH!

What's happened to "knetworkmanager" these days?
Used to be good for picking up wireless things - but doesn't seem to
be in the repositories these days. Does it have a different name?

But I've lost my wireless.
Hmmm...
Prior to the re-install it was fine, and I don't remember actually
doing anything to make it not so. Is there some default option that's
been installed which is preventing it accessing my wireless card?

Should have broadband again today, so going to download an ISO and
endeavour to fix my broken Jaunty.
Now, a week or so ago somebody said to me that to preserve my data I
simply asked it not to format the partition, which would leave /home
